In the post game interview, once Williams saw Kmet 1v1 with no other defender in the area, he already made his mind up. Oz was open, trailing Kmet, but that dude was dropping everything. So I am glad he didn't throw it to him. Who else was wide open?

Every game matters and playing on the road isnt the best for this team but that is where we will see our growth. Minny game is winnable and that game will determine if we have a shot at the playoffs. Philly and Lions are probably the two losses for sure on our schedule but the rest are winnable games. We won 5 last year and now have 6 wins. Does anyone think we cant go 3-5 in our last 8 games? Our floor will be a winning season, and that is achievable. We have 4 home games left.

Not sure why we didnt pound the ball at the beginning of the Giants game but we have to in this game. People keep praising the Flores defense but as someone laid out, it isnt good this year. They have given up over 150 yards rushing twice in the last 3 games. We should have won the first Viking game when we didnt play well. The refs helped us lose that one. Of course the game will go down to the end of the game like so many have this year. Caleb is 4-1 in one score games. I will ride the storm with him. Dart was a rookie and played well against us so I dont see having JJ Mac being a problem for them. I can see us getting some ints. against the Vikings and go with that. I have noticed that our defense is a lot weaker when TJ Edwards doesnt play. He wont be in this game either.

Yes and Theo had a better game. The Giants aren't good but they did have talented edge rushers.

The national media are starting to notice the Bears and Caleb

Burns vs Wright. 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ2aovGEW5Q/?igsh=YTN6czZvOG54OXZr

Agree on Swift v Monangai. Swift seems pedestrian at times, and doesn’t hit the expected hole immediately, costing him yards. Monangai sees it, hits it, drives hard, and regularly picks up extra yards after contact.

NEVER.GETS.OLD

for sure, playoffs or no, we need a pass rush, and we dont have one. this is not a complete team yet, but we do have some young players, and theyre starting to get it. I especially liked reports of Ben Johnson telling Poles NOT to trade picks for players at the deadline. Johnson has some affection for the young guys he hasnt even drafted yet that he knows they will coach up. That's the right way to think it. Im so happy to hear it.

There were definitely some Justin Fields games where he was the best player and the primary reason for the win. As for today, love the win, love the clutch gene, but watch that last scrambling TD again. Two WRs wide open. WIDE OPEN. I would have been much more impressed if Caleb had stopped and fired a game-winning TD pass. As it stands now, the end of game scrambling heroics remind me of guess who? Fields again.

I agree 100%. As good as 6-3 feels and the fact that Caleb has been the catalyst, we’ve beaten some lousy teams. With the way the D and ST are playing it wouldn’t surprise me if we go 0-4 over the next four weeks. If we go 2-2 over those games the playoffs are within reach.

Yeah, I wish I felt better about this game than I do. McCarthy isn't an NFL starter, but I don't have confidence in this defense to make him look terrible. As long as Ben Johnson continues to use Swift more than Monangai, I'm not as confident in this run game against the Vikings. Swift just doesn't have the physical presence that Monangai does running down hill. He gives them some extra juice, and picks up those hidden yards that Swift generally does not do. If Johnson continues with the same script next week, I think that's going to be a big mistake, along with keeping Burden off the field. I hope he's smart enough to recognize this.

CGJ is an above average player. With all the mistakes Poles has made this one appears to be a win win for literally nothing.

This time around we've got the running game that we didn't have in week 1. It will help a lot when Minn presses the LOS.

To be fair the Giants LT kept blocking inside giving CJ a free run to the QB. You could say those sacks belong more to the DC if that was something seen on film study. Still CJ has to make the play that's put before him and he did.

For all of us: We are gonna play some tough teams, and we are going to have some losses. Get ready for it. It doesn't mean the sky is falling, we will either show that we are a lot better than we've been, or we will get our asses kicked a few times, and grow from the experience. I think we are about 50/50 to make the playoffs, but if we dont, it doesnt mean everything needs to be scrapped and start over. I still think we are on pace to where we are going. Hopefully, we beat some good teams, but if we don't we will learn what the level of effort really is thats needed to beat good teams. And thats a lesson we need right now. We arent giving enough in all phases.

It could be short lived, but I believe this is the first time the Bears would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. They're the 7th seed currently. If the Packers lose tomorrow, I think they fall to the 7th spot and the Bears move up to 6h. Big losses for the 49'ers, Vikings, and Panthers today gives the Bears a slight cushion. The next two weeks become another inflection point for this team. Win both and your chances of making the playoffs grow considerably. Lose both and your season is probably over. Split, and you're still alive, but the road gets infinitely more daunting with PHI and GB coming up right after.

7-3 would be fantastic. And we are going to start being challenged most of the next weeks, and thats good - win or lose we need that challenge to see where we are, and hone that blade for next year.

I definitely agree that burden should move up the depth chart this week and replace Zaccheus. We can wait and see about DJ in the offseason. But LOL @ your DJ's dad comment hahaha

Yeah, Burden had some nice routes, and he catches the ball. Oz had 4 targets and 1 reception. Burden was 3-3. Loveland was 4-4. Loveland's 17-game pace over the last 3 weeks: 74-1,195-11 TD.

It is time to give Burden the snaps. He is a hungry player, maybe too much of an exhibitionist, but can be a playmaker. I dont think Burden replaces Moore next year, but Zaccheus is without question. With all the playmakers, its Rome one week, Moore the next. I heard DJs dad tweeted after the game.

and that followed this game: A 35% chance to win from your own 28 with 42 seconds left, LMAO!
